McNabb a REDSKIN!

Poor Colt. Maybe he'll wear 15 again.
Poor JC. The irony of McNabb booting him off the team.

I must say this is very reminiscent of a Snyder move. Giving up a high draft pick for a big name vet past his prime.

McNabb notoriously underthrows receivers and can't create with his feet anymore. In fact I'd argue that JC is more mobile that DM right now. Unless that line gets a ton better, we've come nowhere with this. I wonder what all the lovers would be saying if it was Cerrato who made this same move?

I'm still undecided, but I'm leaning towards not really liking this, especially since we'll probably give him a lucrative extension as well. With this move, I now forsee at least a few current players traded before the draft.

McNabb doesn't need Vick speed. He just needs to be able to extend the freaking play, run bootlegs, and scramble when he has to. Everyone and their mom knows Fat Andy likes to pass in excess and keep his QB in the pocket.

Well a Snyder/Cerrato would have been us giving up our first rounder.

That's a good point but I guess that we have to realize that new coaches want a guy that they're more comfortable with. It happens quite a lot.. the compensation is the main thing that I'm trying to get over.

Several current players have been shopped around for weeks now. I'm not sure the trade changed that much.

Well, I think losing our 2nd rounder increases the urgency to acquire more picks in this year's draft. Drafting McNabb as a 2 or 3 year band-aid doesn't change our need for a QB of the future, and we still need plenty of help in other areas.

I forsee any combination of the following players traded: Carlos Rogers, Jason Campbell, Laron Landry, and Chris Cooley.

Yes, it is absolutely urgent that we trade that pick at #4 for more picks. I'm hoping for round 1, #13 from 49ers, and a 3rd and 5th rounder.

I understand JC for a 3rd rounder, but what about the rest of that bunch? What are they worth? Would we really get rid of LL and CC?
